...based on this item from Denver TV reporter Josina Anderson (link).

Just heard federal agents raided an athletic training facility in Florida this am where NFL/CFL players and college prospects train.

A raid of an athletic facility likely points to a steroid or drug story to come. Who it might ensnare is unknown.

(hope no Panther players are workout iout in Florida right now)

at least Beason, Stewart, Johnson, and Brown are working out in FL right now at the same place. A lot of NFL guys workout on the facility they are at.....Welker, OchoCinco, etc.

Guys, there is more than 1 athletic facility in Florida. Calm your asses down. It would be one thing if you knew a bunch of Panthers that trained in, say, Rhode Island and there was a raid in a facility in Rhode Island.

Add that even if they were at that facility, it doesn't mean our guys were doing anything wrong. I would be interested to see what facility was raided. Anyone have a follow-up.

Follow up (PFT)

A press release said the indictment included conspiracy and wire fraud.

A quick perusal of All-Star Sports’ poorly updated website reveals relatively limited NFL connections. The facility does offer an NFL Combine training program for college athletes.

Looks like this one may not hit anyone much in the pros, but may not some college guys (maybe some potential draftees).

Their site has a link indicating some shoestring connection to Florida State.

Chances that Beason would do roids?

0.0%

Seriously people... wtf. He smarter than 95% of the people on this site.

Beason ain't that smart......he got baited into punching out that Frye kid at a strip club.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
